I was sitting in my usual indoor place last night: on the floor in front of the fire. I am the cat’s favourite place to nap, so of course I ended up with both of them on my legs.
This was fine, for a while.
Until I had to pee.
I really didn’t want to wake them up. As you do.
So I slipped out of my sweatpants (and booties) and left them there while I went upstairs to do the necessary.
Total success. I even managed to get back into my sweats again without either cat leaving.
Spoiled? Nahhhhhhh.
Cute shoes! Your cats are a tad spoiled but I understand completely! Right now I am resting my mouse on Orso as he sleeps next to me.
Hee! Poor Orso 🙂
I’d get up if it was just Lokii, he doesn’t take offence. But Spotty gets cranky and won’t come back for ages.
No need to explain, in fact it was pretty ingenious of you to contort yourself to get out of your pants. I’m not sure I could pull it off.
That particular pair is about 4 sizes too large! They fall off my arse all the time 🙂 Sooo comfortable though!
🙂
You are adorable.
Awww 🙂
Lol that’s class, I can’t believe you were able to get back in them again too!
It was a challenge!
You should have marked this as PG-13 😛
You spoil them too much. Tigra sleeps on me all the time, but she let’s me do my business, and patiently waits for my return to continue her nap.
Did the sight of my shins give you the vapours?
Spot always runs away when I get up, and it makes me feel bad. Plus then he gets hyper, loud, and won’t come back until you throw something at him.
I have this issue with Fergie, but he’s extremely finicky and leaps from the bed when I get out of it for this purpose. He returns soon though 🙂
Yeah, Spot’s a little jerk when he runs off.
Bwahhhahhahhhahh 🙂
My equivalent is having to a) try and use my wacom pen UNDER Mojo, as he likes to sit with his butt on the left side of my drawing tablet (he likes to retain creative control of his images, you understand) or b) sleeping in a post reading, semi-upright position with half my clothes still on until he decides it’s time to go and bother Brian….The things we do for cats.
So Mojo points his butt at you? I’m trying to picture this… hope he’s not meaning that as a critique!
That’s exactly how I’m sitting now (only in my case my right hand is also taken, so I have to type with my left hand only), and I want to go and warm up some red wine for me. So, thanks for the idea! 😉
Hello darling! I’ve missed you! Glad I could help – well, a little bit anyway, I’m sure your hand doesn’t detach!
No, it doesn’t, but it also doesn’t feel like it belongs to me 🙂
Thank you! I missed you too!
Of course none of your body belongs to you, it belongs to the kitty!
True.
Guess what, while I was typing that comment to you a little earthquake happened!
What?!? A real one? I’d be terrified!
Yeah, a real one, it was quick but felt quite strong. The earthquake monitor says it was only 2.1, but it was close, in the sea. I wasn’t terrified, I have to admit, I’m a freak as I like them. 🙂
Ha! I’ve never felt one, I think I’d wet my pants! I’m fine with hurricanes but tornadoes and earthquakes are scary.
I’ve never witnessed a tornado, so that’s probably my “wet the pants situation”. 🙂 But I’m used to little earthquakes, although locals are scared of them. They still remember the deadly one which happened in 1979. I find the little earthquakes fun, a little bit like being on a roller coaster.
I suppose I could see that – but how do you know it isn’t a precursor to a really big one? And what do the cats think?
The cats don’t care much. This time some things started jingling in the cupboard and that got their attentions, but they usually don’t mind the actual shaking of the ground. A big one can always happen, they are unpredictable, but that’s the reality of life here on this territory. A little earthquake doesn’t grow into a big one. The first shake of an earthquake is the maximum this particular earthquake will get. So when I feel the first push, I just sit and keep enjoying the rest of the wave. It’s interesting. I can’t help it. I know it’s stupid and I should be more serious about it, but I just find it so fascinating that the Earth can do a thing like that.
Now, you can see both of my hands are free, so I typed that much 🙂
Hahah! There must have been some important Kitty Business that needed attending to.
That makes it different – if you know right away that is the worst it will be, well! There is nothing you can do about it so may as well enjoy it. Like turbulence on a plane, or a bad lighting storm.
Exactly 🙂
This is so cute! I wish my cats were at the sleeping-up-against-each-other stage. For now though they’ll sleep about a foot apart (even better when we can throw the third cat in there when she comes inside).
That is just the best. What’s better than a cat? Two kitties!
What’s better than two kitties? FOUR! Never have animals in odd numbers if possible, actually – two will gang up on another. See, now you can get a fourth one!
Whenever we have couch-time, I get all the cats. Hubby always says, “how come I don’t get any cats?”
So I said recently, ‘Lets get two more!’
“No, then you’ll have four cats and I still won’t have any”
I could only laugh because we both know it is true 🙂
Hahaha awww the more the merrier!
Just finished reading The Good, the Bad and the Furry by Tom Cox.. A book about living with four cats. Great book and I think you’d love it!
As long as none of them die! I can’t take that 😦
One of them goes to kitty heaven but after a nice long life. Then they get a crazy kitten
Dammit. Did you ever see that film ‘A Ring of Bright Water’? It ruined anything about animals forever for me and my sister. Why do they always have to die…
I didn’t see that, but did you see Watership down? That was NEVER meant to be a childrens Easter film!
Oh man, that book was never meant for kids! Who thought that was a good idea! I’ve read other work by the same author… Ah, not a kids’ writer. Or of course Old Yeller or Where the Red Fern Grows. Child abuse.
haha, so the books as grizzly as the film?!
Worse! And since I think you might like it, try Maia by Adams. It’s pretty damn risqué
I’ll check it out 🙂
How can you slip out of that without the cats noticing? 😮
I managed! These pants are about 4 sizes too large (my favourite ones)!
Oh, i love too large pants! I have one too! Hahaha
You never feel fat in your comfy pants!
I know right?!
